I've rencently discovered that my mother has Type 2 Diabeties, which means a whole new way of eating for us. I was devistated at the thought, as she's not a fan of healthy eating and I really think that food will be the key in helping or hurting her health. Well, I checked out the Splenda website and they had a few recipes that looked really good, gave me some hope. So I was wondering, do you have any diabetic diet friendly favorites? What are they and how do you prepare them?

That all sounds good and great advice, thanks! I'm wishing I had that chicken wrap right now, lol. I think the pasta salad would be great for her, she'd like that. Breads are huge in my house, she's a white bread addict. So that one is going to be a little tough but luckly she'll eat whole grains. We love cinnamon so I can think of a million ways to use that. Lately, I've been putting it in when I cook veggies like carrots or corn on the cob with a pinch of cayanne pepper and it gives everything such a yummy flavor.

Sarah Lee has a whole grain white bread she might like. The key to being satisfied with healthy foods is to make them taste like something really special. It sounds like you do a good job.

I love Sara Lee and I think we've used that bread before. Yup we have, I remember she liked it because it kept longer. Our kitchen is sunny and for some reason bread goes bad fast no matter where we put it and whole grain breads almsot seem to never go bad. I'll have to put that on our shopping list, thanks!

Yes, Your diet is the key to controlling the blood sugar.
I too am a type 2 diabetic and I have made a blog that has recipes for diabetics. It has snacks, breakfast, lunch, dinner dishes and some side dishes will be going on it per request today. There is a recipe for chocolate cake, cheesecake, fudge. These are to help satisfy the sweet cravings but we can eat them without guilt because they are low in carbs.If you visit please read the first post because it will explain why diabetics need to reduce their carbohydrate intake and what they are, as well as why our bodies do NOT need them.

I also have a blog about Type 2 Diabetes that will explain what it is, the symptoms, the complications, Myth and Facts, and some information about how to control this disease with natural remedies. Please read first post before reading the other post.Click on "You are not alone" in the archive.

I hope this will help you and your family to understand more about this disease and make your mothers life a better, happy and healthy one.

Thanks so much, I fowarded your blogs to my mother who loved them. It's hard to get her interested in anything that's good for her so when she said she bookmarked them I was excited. Thanks again for such great information!
